THE LITTLE GOLD KEY. Once upon a time there lived an old woman who had a lazy son, but .he watt fond of him, and when Hire "mint! ho would not work, Instead of punishing him .he took a little or phan girl to live with them to do the work Her name was Freda, and «h« worked In the garden and In the field Ha well a. the hon.e.

"I,et Freda do it," he said But thla time hi. mother made him go with them, and a. they went to ward the field they met a eow that had become entangled In Home brush. "Let UK help that poor creatiTre," ♦raid Freda, going toward the cow. "I have no time to waste on a fool ish eow ' .aid the old wamon. "And I have no atrength. to waste on a eow," said the lazy son But Freda went to the eow and pulled away the hruali and briars. Then she led her to a stream of water where she could get a drink. The old woman called to her to come quickly anil leave the cow to gel along as best she could. "If you don't,' she said “I shall i nnlsh you when I get you home" Hut Freda helped the cow and just hh she was leaving her the cow said, "You are . kind girl and I will re ward you, for | am a fairy In disguise and the old woman nml hsr son shall lie punished so their hard-hearted rises " I will send the rain to destroy Hie hay, and that will make the old wom an unliapy and the lazy son will he angry because he lihh to be out In Hie wet "Look behind my horn,” she said to Freda, "and you will *e a tiny gold kev. take It and tonight when the old woman and her son are asleep ro to Hie chimney In the slttingroom and von will sec a tiny keyhole; put this key 111 II nml the door will open then you will find your reward."'

There It was just as the fairy told her She put In the key and a door flew open Freda went In and It closed, hut In her excitement she for got the key and left It on the out side. Freda walked along what seemed to her a long road, and presently she met a lion He spoke to her at once, and she d,d not have time to feel afraid "What do you seek, lltle maid? h" asked "The fairv gave me the key to the door, and I do not sek anything," replied Freda although the fairy told me I should find my reward hen*' "Follow me." said the Hon He led Freda to the end or the path or mad which semed to branch Into three dif ferent directions Beside one of the roads was a river, and a queer-loking boat stood by the hank.

And aw«y «ha wont in the boat, leaving Hie lion standing on the bank. After going quite a distance Freda saw an Island on which was a house. "F wonder," she thought, "If I could get something to eat at that house. I have not had my breakfast." As the boat came near the island Freda related the lines to atop the boat. The boat stopped dost t,o the shore and Freda Jumped out and walked up the path that led to the house.

Once upon a time the children found that the blueberries wert ripe and they asked mother if they could not have a berrying party. Their mother •aid that they could and that they i might each ask a little friend. Elsie was the oldest and she asked her cousin May. John asked the boy next door and little Janet asked his sister. Each had a bright new pall and a basket of lunch. They planned to stay all day. They had picked their pails nearly full when Elalc said: 'T am hungry,' and the rest all said: "So am 1." They found a shady place under a tree and gathered big leaves to use for platc-s What a nice time they had. Each had a cute little paper cup which they filled with water from a cool spring nearby. After they had eaten all they could thsy told stories and sang some of the songs they had been taught at school. l.lttle Janet was tired and Elsie said: "You lie here and take a nap and we will finish filling the palls with berries to take home to mother. Janet curled up under the tree and went fast asleep and when the rent were ready to go home they went to call Janet. There she was sound asleep and cuddled up beside her was the cutest little red squirrel that you ever saw. It had eaten some of the crumbs they bad left and I suppose It was sleepy and thought that was a good place to take a nap. When It caught sight of the children It ran up the tree as fast as It cedld and crawled out on a branch and look ed down at them with Us bright eyes. May said: "1 guess it thought we had gone away and left Janet and It was going to take care of her." They woke Janet and when they told her who had been sleep with her she wanted to catch it and take it home. The little squirrel kept up in the branches far out of reach and looked as much as to say: "I will come down If you are asleep but when you wake 1 am going to scamper away." So they had to go home without It. How mother laughed when they told her. What the Rich Eat In the August Woman's Home Com panion Juliet Wilber Tompkins writes a story entitled “The * l.lttle Home.
